Shoreline Amphitheater Reviews

Remember to bring sunblock, especially if you're there for Google I/O. Better yet, bring something to cover your shoulders and legs from the burning sun.

Nice venue, with great weather and staff yo catch a show at

The sound was fabulous the atmosphere festive and the weather divine! Add the great food, family and a sorely missed lineup of artists... Magical!

Good place for shows but traffic can get pretty bad as there is only way in or out.

country concerts here in the summer are great. start at the sports page and wander on over

All the food sucks, both the alcohol and merch is overpriced, a typical venue. But the artists are always great.

Nice venue for outdoor event. I was there for google developer Conference. It gets very very hot if your seat is not in shade. My phone shut down because it got too hot during opening keynote speech. The space between seats are small. Chairs are plastic and hard. If it s a long event you might want to bring a cushion. There is loan area that is exposed. Some people were using umbrellas to block the sun.

The only reason why i gave it only 4 stars is because leaving is a big hassle and they need to work on a better way to get over 9000 vehicles out if there in a timely fashion!!!

Lawn tickets are terrible, don't waste your money.
To management: Spend a few hundred, put up some projectors, turn up the sound!

The staff is organized and friendly, the venue just has everything. Outdoor skies, lawn seating, seated seat.
Cons: The food prices are expensive. Other than that, good place

So much fun to watch beck and cafe the elephant - we got the reserved lawn with rental chairs and a private section and it was worth every penny.

Be aware that the parking situation, while vast, gets really disorganized when everyone's trying to leave since there's only one road in and out

The concert was great, we had fast track that wasn't so good

Plenty of room to dance in the seats, thanks to Bill Graham's design for the Grateful Dead.

Love Shoreline as a venue. It's certainly a trek from Concord, but the shows! Access to parking is really bad though with a typical 90+ minutes to go less than the last mile getting in and getting out. Wish there could be improvements but suppose state highways and city streets will always be limiting.

Great venue. In and out quickly with Lyft or Uber.

Atmosphere and location are fun. There's always a unique enthusiasm on display at this venue.

* Great weather during day
* Evening can get cold , be prepared
* Lawn gets oversold and much too crowded
* Stage views are poor from many locations
* Sound quality not as good as other venues.
(c'mon this is the heart of the tech universe)
* Traffic and parking...ugh

Fun experience, but don't expect great sound or views for most lawn seats. Blankets get tramped due to overcrowding.

Smart bet: If you're staying a nearby hotel, bring a bike and cycle in to bypass the crowds.

Experience was nice, but the seats all had cracks in them, They would flex when you sit down. I haven't been here in 15years, and some of the seating is probably the same one's from back then, its a Shame...

Great place for concerts. The grass option makes it affordable. You cant see much unless you have the best grass locations. Otherwise you get lost in a see of drunk people. The drinks are about $20 each and there is often vomit everywhere.

Only decent seats are hundreds of dollars. Lawn general admission seats are just to watch the stream on projectors, not really the point of a live concert.

I saw Ozzy here what more is there to say! Freaking amazing.

What a great way to spend July 4th. The symphony was fabulous as were the fireworks.

Parking was down right crazy! Have never seen anything like it before. Very unorganized. If you have a concert to get to there you better get there 5 hours ahead of time. Finally got into the show (missed Cyndi Lauper because of parking). Had lawn seats which was nothing but a sea of people wall to wall people if there would of been an emergency it would not of been a pretty sight! In the end only caught an hour of Rod Stewart because did not want to be in that mess again!

Their sound system needs improvment couldnt make out the words even knowing the song .
Muffled and distorted you think it be clear and understandable live
But not here
Had a lawn view and judiest priest & Deep Purple played. 8.00 for a non alcoholic beverage was robbery and overkill on it's worth
Glad I was on a motorcycle parking is free for bikes. I'd be even more ticked off if I had to pay to go even. Needs better sound system but the shows preformed was awesome .

Nice place to hear a concert, sitting on the hill is pretty nice, but the lines to get in can get very very long so plan ahead!

It's a cool place, however the seats need some refurbishing as they are a bit old.

It was better before back in the days when Bill Graham presents owned it.

Went to see Santana he was great, but traffic was horrible I used to go all the time, but obviously things have changed.
I'll never go again !!

Fantastic place for concerts and festivals! Attended the Google I/O and got to experience the amphitheatre in beautiful weather.

Good venue. Can be a total cluster f* after the show trying to get back on the highway

A god place to see a concert provided you have seats near the stage. Otherwise, the second section of seats are very far from the stage and the huge lawn is only for those who come to here for the music but not to see the performance. Traffic can be horrendous getting to the venue.

Bathrooms are in complete disarray. Stalls are held together by shoe strings (no exaggeration), 99% of stall doors do not close. Stands are falling apart as well. Security is a joke. Food is meh. But hey, everything looks good from the outside and that's what matters, right?

Awesome place to see your favorite artist. Great venue, pricey food but it is expected.

Great concert venue.. Free parking short walk to show. Geat food and food trucks. Friendly, helpful staff. An overall good concert experience!

Great venue, great staff! Easy to get to. And I've never had anything other than a fantastic experience here.

1.25 hours of traffic to get to the parking lot.
1.5 hours of concert
2 hours to get out of parking lot

There is something so wrong here. Indianapolis pushes 200000 people at the 500 in less time.

Horrible place to get in and out of. My hotel was 5 miles away from here, so I figured if I left an hour before the show I'd have plenty of time. Turns out I got there a half hour into the opening act. There's no traffic control other than the signal lights. Pure craziness! Once you're in, the seating is really not the best either. I'm tall but still couldn't see over the heads of the people in front of me. Not a place I'll go to again. There's no act worth that torture.

Good venue, happened to be unseasonably warm, but not the venue's issue.

Great amphitheater. Came here for a Mormon Tabernacle Choir Concert.

Great place to enjoy the magic red concert here (the parking lot near the parking lot is very convenient)

Great venue had an awesome time at Warped tour with my daughter

Really cool place, but if the suns out there is no shade and you just cook.

Love it here if you want to see the acts i would recommend close seats but the lawn seat are also good for a group of friends

I was here for Google I/O - the venue is nice but I wish the canopy was a bit larger so there is more shade.

I just went back for the first time in a few years and remembered why I love it so much. The sound in this place is amazing. It's not like being in a bar or a stadium or an arena.

Great concert. Good staff. However the hour or so wait needs to get out the parking lot is not cool. Parking staff needs to improve.

It's a nice venue, but the open seating is pretty far away from the stage. It can also get pretty cold if the wind is blowing, even on a summer evening.

If you are attending an event here I would recommend parking for free near the Costco on Rengstorff Ave and then walking about 15 minutes to avoid the traffic

Easy to get, and love the fact that parking is free.

Nice location for public events. Bonus is that the space around can be used for stalls for merchandise or as food court.

I have had the time of my life here! First time won't be the last time! Dierks Bentley rocked the house!

The amphitheatre is a great venue to see live music. Stadium seating to an extent and a huge grass field to lounge in. Employees were all friendly. Food and drink prices were outrageous. $15 for a cocktail. $15 a burrito.

Best place to see an outdoor show. Not a bad seat in the place!

It was nice outdoors bring blanks got nice view and the stars look nice as well

It's an average venue with a decent history, concord is a much nicer venue. Paid to park ,which made a much nicer experience, to be fair. Again, I purposely don't go to many shows because it is there. Enjoy.

This venue is showing it's age, but it's still a great place to catch a concert. Seating is reasonably comfortable, the lawn is it's own experience, and it's relatively easy to get to. Down sides are the sound guys seem to think everything needs to be turned up to 11, and getting out of the parking lots can be a bit of an ordeal.

General parking is free. VIP parking is $40, which is crazy. Food and drink are concert price, but there is at least a variety and they're bringing in food trucks too, which makes an even better variety. But $8 for a 1L Auguafina? Concert prices.

Get there early and enjoy the venue. Just be ready to spend a while in the lot when it's time to leave.

Great venue once you get in, but their traffic managed parking is poorly executed.

Venue is good, but parking hard to get to during the work week. Be prepared for a long wait ro get to the lots

Awesome outdoor venue. The lower seating has awning to shield attendees from rain or sun

A nice comfortable outdoor venue. But they are very restrictive on lawn chairs.

Get place wish traffic wasn't as bad but shoreline can't do much about that.
